Why aren't you playing fighting games?

I'm basically just scared off by the existence of fighting game veterans. I have no natural talent for it and only a casual interest, I don't want to have to put in the effort to learn inputs and combos and shit.
Only fighting game I've gotten is Pokken because I knew everyone else would just be Pokemon retards like myself.

Im too good. I wrecked all my friends and they quit.

>put like 2 hours into training room for painwheel
>basically just learn how to spam muscle memory incomplete combos
>all my friends refuse to play the game now because they feel the skill gap is too large

Ok, someone help a noob out. How would you deal with this Slayer
>don't round start suzuran or at least use its armor
>just FD to keep the Slayer away, he had meter
>reflect (?)
>just defense, max knows how to parry so I don't think it'd be hard for him
>fuzzy guard

I played SF4 and MvC3, with a dash of GGAC+ back in the day. Played on a competitive level for almost a decade, until I was hospitalized for kidney stones. Turned out the games were giving me hypertension, and the lifestyle was turning me pre-diabetic, so I stopped. Shit sucks bro.

Side note, learning painwheel was actually really fun. I like playing against amputee lolis and parasoul because navigating the projectiles makes me feel like I'm playing cuphead

I'm shit at them

I will. When they bring Bridget back.

Give me good ones on the switch that are not anime fighters. Then i will play some.

None of my friends want to to play and netcode is trash. All I have installed right now is DBF, UNI and Melty, and I just lab while watching a stream. I really don't want to join some gay discord.

don't suzuran. block instead of spamming azami. baiken can azami the 6H in the 5k>6H>dandy step string, probably can H follow up to catch dandy step and that would lead to a decent dustloop combo and corner the slayer. the most obvious part max messed up was not throwing slayer 2D, which would lead to a dustloop combo and hard knockdown with slayer in the corner.

the only fault is his lack of match up knowledge.
sometimes, slayers momentum is too strong and it can end match really fast with proper read. this also exacerbates while playing baiken, she has very low hp and dizzy threshold

>all my friends refuse to play the game now because they feel the skill gap is too large

The feels man. Feels bad,

def am

slowly declining interest in the games I was playing and the general direction the genre is heading in. Also getting your shit kicked in for years gets to you eventually

I'm not really interested in martial arts. If I want to do swordfights there's other games to do them in. Why would I play a fighting game in that case?

Max is good at SF3 and UMvC3. Anime fighters.just aren't his thing.

He is trash at UMVC3 lok

his only fault is he doesn't know how to play guilty gear and doesn't know how to play baiken

How do I start?
How do I not be the person on the left?
I really want to know.

Thanks anons, that was pretty insightful. I guess it all boils down to MU knowledge, which is what makes GG so interesting for labbing. Also, I've been noticing that new Baiken mains often rely on azami for some reason, so it's just a matter of trying to kill this bad habit

Don't start off doing those sick combos you see everyone doing. Try to learn the game and its mechanics first

Just got done playing some goodass Tekken, feels good brews. Should I get season 3? I'm kind of trash but both Ganryu and Zafina look dope as af

because spending 150 hours i didn't learn anything and playing just made me frustrated and angry every night i played online.

They’re fun an inferior genre.

he literally wrote a guide on how to play it, retard

>he even admits later how switching to unga bunga leo was the best thing
>so he wants arc to change baiken so she be as ez as leo
fuck off max, learn a character or move to another one, don't completely change them cuz you suck at them

Both players did retarded shit at the beginning of the round but one did something even more retarded than the other.

I'm bad and don't have the patience to learn the basics to reach the skill floor. And there are so many other games worth playing that I don't quite have the incentive to aside from occasionally wanting to.

tbf that wouldn't be the first time bacon got changed. Compared to XX, she's pretty unga herself in Xrd now that her counters aren't on defense

No locals has made me lose motivation to play games cause online sucks.
Been playing Melee with the new rollback netcode and it's been really good, especially with how fast games load compared to say Tekken.
